Sofia Nasini publishes study on biological sex and drug response

Researcher Sofia Nasini, based at the University of Padua’s Neuropsychopharmacology Laboratory, has published a study in the journal Trends in Pharmacological Sciences regarding the impact of biological sex on drug responses.

The research focuses on how biological sex and sex hormones influence the mechanisms through which certain drugs, specifically those involving serotonin and psychedelics, act on the brain. This work falls under the field of gender pharmacology, which examines how biological variables affect psychiatric treatments and behavioral outcomes.
